It makes me happy to hear your positive comments about the firm. It is a lot of fun, isn't it! I also recognize where you must be coming from in your constructive feedback about hours and balance. Agency work can be filled with ebs and flows and those ebs can sometimes be intense (but hopefully empowering and energizing, too). Thanks for sharing your observations with us. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR

Great clients. Great people to work with.

Office politics. Silly things that were sold to the client that just did not make sense.

Pros

I worked with some of the brightest and best people in the business. Most of them are no longer with the company. Some good clients, and nice office space.

Cons

Very limited opportunities for growth. During my time they reduced promotions to only once a year, and made many excuses for promoting as few people as possible (despite becoming the first "$1B" agency at that time). Morale was extremely low. People were forced to come into an office with nobody they actually worked with. Common to be passed from manager to manager. At one point I had 6+ managers within a 10-month span.
